"Having already eliminated Newcastle in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup last month, City piled more misery on Eddie Howe's side after coming from a goal behind on Saturday. Newcastle made a lively start to the match, with a last-ditch block from Abdukodir Khusanov denying Harvey Barnes a shot at goal before Nick Woltemade saw his header cleared off the line by Nico Gonzalez soon after."
"And they completed the turnaround two minutes after the restart when Marmoush rifled into the back of the net, with the ball breaking kindly for the Egyptian inside the box after Ramsdale had got a touch on Matheus Nunes' cutback. The same pairing combined again to put the result beyond doubt for City, with Marmoush crashing a fierce right-footed shot past Ramsdale from just outside the penalty area."
"Marmoush has had to bide his time for opportunities this season given the imperious form of Erling Haaland, but the City number seven produced a fine display that will give Guardiola a lot to think about for the business end of the campaign. And Marmoush did so against a team he has loved facing since moving to England."
Manchester City secured their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United at St. James' Park. Newcastle took an early lead through Harvey Barnes in the 18th minute, but City equalized before halftime when Savinho tapped in Jeremy Doku's cross. Marmoush scored twice after the restart to complete the turnaround and seal the win. This marked City's second consecutive elimination of Newcastle, having previously beaten them in the EFL Cup semi-finals. Marmoush's performance demonstrated his quality as a backup option to Erling Haaland, and he continued his impressive record against Newcastle with multiple goals.
